** Description changed:

  Nouveau blacklisting fails when /usr is on seperate partition.
  
- cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf 
+ cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf
  blacklist nouveau
  blacklist lbm-nouveau
  blacklist nvidia-173
  blacklist nvidia-96
  alias nvidia nvidia-current
  
  File exists as above and 'update-initramfs -u' was run.
  
  System fails to blacklist nouveau and as a result nvidia drivers are
  unable to claim the device and boot.
  
  This is clearly some type of race condition with upstart and not being
  able to access /usr/lib at time of boot. A temporary fix was to modify
  and include 'and local-filesystems' to the start line. This seems to
  slow down the boot process, but the driver was blacklisted.
  
  /etc/init/udev.conf
  
  start on virtual-filesystems and local-filesystems
+ 
+ NOTE: the same applies to the fglrx driver which requires blacklisting
+ the radeon module
